.o0o. ( ( NEEDED: MUSICIANS FOR NEWLY FORMING BAND! ) ) .o0o.
It was one of those mornings where I woke up a full hour before the alarm clock. I was dead awake, as if it was the middle of the day instead of five in the morning. No use in fighting my alertness back into sleepy submission; my day had an early start. Guess I needed something to do for an hour, so I wrote another classified ad taking past considerations to revise our previous posting.
Well, by midday there were three responses waited my reply; by early evening the number had doubled, and then some! Amazing. Simply amazing. The ad had received more notice in several hours than previous ads had received in several weeks. Most people mentioned the phrase "for the love of music" as having caught their eye. I mean every word of that, and hope to find like minded musicians.
If I have to this music to my living room walls for the next ten years, so be it. But I would rather get this music out there on the off-hand chance that someone other than myself will appreciate this music as much as I do. Until then, I'll keep pressing onward.
Currently we are a songwriting duo (singer / lyricist & rhythmNothing falsified, though definetly embellished. I figured this was an advertising venture: certainly there are plenty of bands out there, so why would people want to play for us? At least that was my perspective. If you don't advocate for yourself, then who else in this world will?
guitar) looking to take our show on the road. We have about a dozen ORIGINAL
songs written, 3/4th's of which are solid, and the other just need to be worked
through with a full band. Not opposed to playing a few covers on the side as
well, but this is an ORIGINALS project. Plan to record an EP in Jan., Feb.,
(sorry, don't have any MP3's at the moment), and then play out in local venues.
Looking for: drums, bass, guitar, piano, electic violin, etc. We are in this for
the fun and love of music. Our "sound" fits that wide, wide range of alternative
/ indie rock, though leans towards Jeff Buckley's edgier material. Our listening
influences are as wide as David Dye's CD collection (well, if that is possible).
Smart chord changes, well written lyrics, vocals delivered from the heart,
played with dynamics. This project is an ideal situation for someone looking to
work with original material, be an essential member of a starting band, and
looking to play out in the near future. Transportation and equipment is a
must!
